This invention relates to an electromechanical actuator comprising a support and a deformable element comprising a portion anchored to at least one anchoring zone of the support and mobile portion, the deformable element comprising an electro-active layer, a reference electrode arranged on a first face of the electro-active layer an actuating electrode arranged on a second face, opposite the first face, of the electro-active layer comprises a capacitive device for measuring the deformation of the deformable element, said device being at least partially formed by a capacitive stack comprising a measuring electrode on the second face of the electro-active layer, a measuring portion of the reference electrode located facing the measuring electrode, and a portion of the electro-active layer inserted between the measuring electrode.

Electromechanical actuator

An acoustic structure, comprising at least one acoustic resonator exhibiting at least one resonant frequency in a band of operating frequencies and an integrated capacitor, further comprises: a stack of layers, comprising at least one active layer of piezoelectric material or of ferroelectric material; the resonator being frequency tunable and being produced by a first subset of layers of the stack comprising the at least one active layer and at least two electrodes; the integrated capacitor being produced by a second subset of layers comprising the active layer and at least two electrodes; the first and second subsets of layers being distinguished by a modification of layers so as to exhibit different resonant frequencies.
